State Games

I take that back. 1983 Cherokee had a big and very fast squad. Unfortunately early in the season they lost Kenny Alexander a very talented athlete to a car accident. Kenny and his teammate Robert Williams were absolutely dynamic. We would all know those two names had it not been for tge accident. Robert went to state in track in 2-3 solo events maybe 4 I can’t remember. Obviously the loss of Kenny hurt the team tremendously. No doubt they win state in 83 with Kenny. No doubt all.
I’m thinking that Robert still holds the record at the Heart of Texas relays back in 83. Watched him run that day and I thought Johnny Lam was on the track.
 
Gordon has been missing a few extra points per game of late, so if someone could go score-for-score with them, that’s just about the only weakness to exploit

We ran against each other at several track meets. He’d always say I’m tired today not gonna run hard. Then I swear I could hear him laugh a little as he passed me up the last 50-75 yards of the 200m. We still laugh about that. Still friends to this day.
